    Can't say I understand her stance but I will (listen) to her argument.

    a lot of this recent feminism movement is ripe with idiocy and from reading her tweets bec thinks the same thing.

    I think you're right, she's conflating feminism with what she sees in social media as, I dunno, feminist supremacy or anything that could be perceived as anti-male.

    Wild assumption here but I would not be surprised if this is a response to people (women?) telling her not to pursue an overtly sexual image as an athlete as others have before her in an effort to bolster her career.

    I'm guessing she thinks coming out against what she understands modern feminism to represent combined with the nude photos will win her back some male fans she lost after TUF and her unsuccessful UFC debut.

    Without feminism there is no Title IX. Female athletics are still far from equal practically everywhere but feminist activism has helped tremendously.

    how can you say that you priviledged CIS male.... /sarcasm

    I think it's the over the topness that some ppl have taken feminism too such as to make it reverse discrimination and outright hatred towards males...especially white ones.
    Anyone who disagrees with these type of 'feminists' online are attacked, bullied and in one instance had their personal info hacked and their employer contacted and threatened for employing the lady and she was thus fired.

    That's what Bec is speaking out against... or at least that's how I understand it.
